The Rock Tomb of Kapilikaya

The present day country of Turkey is home to many well-known megalithic sites such as Gobekli Tepe, Hattusha and Midas Kenti, but it is also home to a much lesser known yet equally impressive ancient site known as "Kapilikaya."

Located about 27 kilometers north of the city of Corum and hidden away inside a mountainous outcropping is an ancient structure known as the "Tomb of Kapilikaya."

[It] is thought to be a tomb of the Hellenistic period, dating back to approximately the 2nd century B.C.

Rising above a gentle stream that flows beneath on the forest floor, a steep trail winds up the left side of the rock outcropping and eventually leads to a platform of stairs located directly in front of the tomb.

The tomb is not simply a door shaped façade but is actually a cube shaped structure cut out of the mountain, only connecting to the natural rock around it at a few points.

From inside you can actually walk all the way around it or climb up onto its top.

The inner chamber of the tomb can only be accessed through entering a small square opening about halfway up the face of the structure.

An inscription above the entrance reads "IKEZIOS," 2 which some believe is attributed to an ancient commander named Ikezius.

CIA Operative Brags: We Hid Information From the Commander-in-Chief All the Time

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Another O'Keefe sting.

A video posted on social media by James O'Keefe features Amjad Anton Fseisi, purported to be the project manager for cyber operations at the CIA. In the video, the undercover reporter for O'Keefe Media Group gets Fseisi to admit that several intelligence agencies deliberately withheld information from Trump out of some absurd fear that he might "disclose it." Fseisi is seen in the recording admitting that intelligence agencies "all got together and said, 'We're not gonna tell Trump.'"

"The executive staff," Fseisi said in response to a question about who specifically was involved in the decision.

"We're talking about the director and his subordinates." That would include Pompeo and Haspel.

According to Fseisi, the intelligence agencies "kept information from [Trump] because we knew he'd f***ing disclose it."

"There are certain people that would... give him a high-level overview but never give him any details. You know why? Because he'll leak those details."

And can you guess why Fseisi says Trump would leak sensitive information? Because Trump is... wait for it... a Russian asset!

"He's a Russian asset," Fseisi claimed. "He's owned by the f***ing Russians."

But there's more.

"Amjad reveals to OMG's Undercover American Swiper that intel agencies not only kept intelligence information from a sitting United States President and Commander-In-Chief, they also used FISA to spy on [Donald Trump]," O'Keefe says on X/Twitter. "And his team and [sic] are still monitoring President Trump according to Amjad who says, 'We monitor everything.' Amjad adds 'we also have people that monitor his ex-wife. He likes to use burner phones' -- information only an insider with access to highly sensitive information would state."

...

When O'Keefe confronted Fseisi on the streets of Washington, D.C., he denied making the statements in the above video.

Trump's Defense Finds a Lot of Helpful Testimony from a Surprising Source -- Stormy Daniel's Lawyer/Blackmail Agent

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Stormy Daniels' lawyer was quizzed as a witness in Trump's bulls*** trial.

He made a bunch of statements that are very helpful to Trump.

First of all, he made it clear that Stormy Daniels was pressuring Trump to pay her off or else she'd go public with her claims.

This is called "blackmail" in most jurisdictions. Jurors may well wonder who the victim is here. Surely not the "New York state political disclosure laws."

The ex-lawyer of adult film actress Stormy Daniels testified Thursday that he thought Donald Trump was "going to lose" the 2016 presidential election, and pressed trump's ex-lawyer Michael Cohen to settle the payment before losing "leverage."

During the final rounds of questioning to Daniel's lawyer, Keith Davidson, he admitted he spoke to Cohen, pressing him to settle the $130,000 payment to Daniels to quiet her claims of an alleged extramarital affair she had with Trump in 2006, before the 2016 election. He said Trump "will lose", and subsequently his client would lose her leverage. Trump has denied every having the affair.

That phone call was described as intense and full of expletives. Trump's defense team is hoping to connect that call with Davidson's alleged pattern of squeezing people for money during vulnerable times.

Well, yeah.

Next, for reasons I'm not clear on, the sleazebag extortionist insisted that the payments to Stormy Daniels were not hush money at all.

The jury doesn't have to accept his claim. But the Soros DA is claiming Trump covered up "hush money" payments, and the party who negotiated those payments (or extorted them) says they weren't hush money payments at all.

They were just "consideration." The quid for the quo of Stormy Daniels not carrying through with her blackmail threat.

Davidson earlier Thursday said that the $130,000 payment to Daniels was not "hush money," but a "consideration" payment.

Consideration" is a contractual legal term for what someone gives in return for the promise to abide by a contract; in this case, money. The payment was labeled "legal fees" in Trump's accounting, which prosecutors allege amounted to fraud.

Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Johsua Steinglass earlier pressed Davidson about Daniels' statement, which Davidson prepared for his client, that denied any relationship with Trump and said that her only interaction with Trump was "a few public appearances and nothing more."

"Rumors that I have received hush money from Donald Trump are completely false," the statement says."I don't believe that Stormy ever alleged that any interaction with Trump was 'romantic,'" Davidson testified Thursday.

But it is his understanding that Daniels had a sexual encounter with Trump.He also said the payment "wasn't a payoff.""It wasn't a payoff. And it wasn't hush money. It was consideration," Davidson said. Davidson added that he would never use "hush money" to describe the money exchange. He would only refer to it as "consideration."

Finally, the extortionist revealed reasons to doubt the Soros DA's "star witness" Michael Cohen. Cohen was so distraught that Trump was not taking him to DC that he considered suicide.

That is a huge motive to lie to get vengeance.

"Can you f---ing believe I'm not going to Washington after everything I've done for that guy. I can't believe I'm not going to Washington...I've save[d] his a--..."Cohen told Davidson. According to Davidson, Cohen wanted to be Attorney General or White House chief of staff.

Davidson testified that he thought Cohen was so distressed that he wasn't going to work in the Trump administration that he might kill himself.

Trump continues thwarting the Democrats' scheme to keep him too tied up in court to do any campaigning:

Biden Is Giving Obamcare to DACA Illegals

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Of course they claimed this would never happen when they first imposed DACA.

President Biden's administration on Friday formalized a new policy of opening Obamacare health insurance exchanges to people who arrived illegally in the US as children who have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status.

The change, pending since last year, is projected to ease access to insurance and federal subsidies for roughly 100,000 uninsured DACA status holders and could soften the blow to pro-immigration advocates if Biden tries to curb record-high illegal immigration before the Nov. 5 election.

"This landmark final rule will make DACA recipients eligible for the Affordable Care Act coverage for the first time. It is projected to help more than 100,000 DACA recipients gain coverage," an administration official said on a press call.

"By providing new opportunities for quality, affordable care healthcare, this rule will give DACA recipients that peace of mind and opportunity that every American deserves."

The DACA program was created in 2012 by then-President Barack Obama when the DREAM Act failed to pass the Senate and grants eligible applicants access to deportation protection and work permits.

In 2017, President Donald Trump attempted to scrap DACA while saying Congress should approve a similar program. The Supreme Court overruled him in 2020.

There were fewer than 600,000 DACA recipients as of last year, down from a peak of more than 700,000.

Immigration is one of the 81-year-old Biden's top liabilities in his anticipated rematch against Trump, who is vowing to launch a mass deportation campaign after unprecedented illegal immigration under Biden.

Under Biden, most people who illegally cross the Mexican border are allowed to enter the US to pursue asylum claims in a move Republicans say encourages others to follow.

Shortly after taking office, Biden halted construction of Trump's US-Mexico border wall and terminated the "Remain in Mexico" policy that required asylum seekers to await rulings on their claims of persecution south of the border.

The DACA benefits expansion comes amid reporting that Biden may seek to demonstrate a tougher approach to the border as polling shows the issue as a major election liability.

An Associated Press poll last month found that 56% of respondents said Biden made "immigration and border security" worse.

Not only will they be on Obamacare -- which Obama promised illegals would not be allowed to access -- but they'll also be getting discounted insurance. US taxpayers will be paying for their subsidies.

We editorialized about this last year, when the idea was first floated by President Biden, noting that it confirmed that Barack Obama did in fact lie when he claimed that his health-care program would not provide benefits to illegal immigrants.

A "fact sheet" from the White House estimates that 100,000 illegal immigrants will receive benefits through the program. It explains, "Starting in November, DACA recipients can apply for coverage through HealthCare.gov and state-based marketplaces, where they may qualify for financial assistance to help them purchase quality health insurance."


So, to be clear, illegal immigrants won't merely be able to use the Obamacare portal to shop but will also be able to receive federal subsidies based on income, potentially qualifying for completely free medical coverage. There is also no reason to feel confident that the government will be able to accurately verify income for this population.

This is another example of executive overreach from a lawless administration.

America is Back, Baby! Biden Insults Top US Asian Ally Japan to Show How Enlightened His Open-Border Policy Is

—Disinformation Expert Ace

(And the site is back, baby!)


Remember, Biden considers his foreign policy "expertise" to be his greatest strength.


The decrepit dolt Biden showed off his famously "earthy" racism again, attacking, out-of-the-blue, India and our closest Asian ally and friend, Japan.

He attacked them in order to make his open border seem virtuous.

President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that "xenophobia" from China to Japan and India is hobbling their growth, as he argued that migration has been good for the U.S. economy.

"One of the reasons why our economy's growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants," Biden said at a Washington fundraising event for his 2024 re-election campaign and marking the start of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

"Why is China stalling so badly economically, why is Japan having trouble, why is Russia, why is India, because they're xenophobic. They don't want immigrants. Immigrants are what makes us strong."

This wasn't just a single gaffe -- he also attacked Japan as misogynist, too.

America is back, Baby!

By the way: He attacked China, too. I was repeatedly -- nay, unceasingly -- told that attacking China was "racist" whenever Trump did it.

And now...? Crickets, obviously.

Dan McLaughlin @baseballcrank

Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, everyone!

Prison Mitch @MidnightMitch

"My son Beau committed seppuku to fight xenophobia."

From Nick Arama at RedState.

Philip Patrick from Spectator World says that Japan is angry.

The insult is being especially keenly felt over here in Tokyo; it comes less than a month after a lavish and carefully choreographed love in between Biden and Japanese prime minister Fumio Kishida. There was a marching band, a formal state dinner, and an atmosphere of mutual admiration all designed to present the two leaders as not just staunch allies but bosom buddies.

Nobody over here much bought into that representation -- the mini-summit was seen as being mainly for domestic consumption from two under-pressure leaders -- but the swiftness of the change of tone is still surprising in its sheer, brazen rudeness. And gall (Biden has condemned Donald Trump for anti-immigrant rhetoric on numerous occasions). It's as if a colleague whom you always imagined you had reasonable relations with suddenly tells you they hate your guts.

Unexpectedly, the Jobs Report Comes In "Far Below Expectations"

—Disinformation Expert Ace

America is back, baby!

The latest jobs report released Friday revealed a slowdown in job growth and an increase in unemployment from the month of April, highlighting the continued failure of Bidenomics. The economy added a mere 175,000 jobs in April, falling short of economists' expectations, while the unemployment rate rose to 3.9 percent.

Key Details:

The underemployment rate reached its highest point since November 2021.

The number of people working multiple jobs to make ends meet increased by 8.8% over the last year, a 27.8% increase since Biden took office in January 2021.

Wage growth is not keeping pace with inflation, leaving middle-class families struggling.

Diving Deeper:

The jobs report for April paints a grim picture of the current state of the economy under the Biden administration. Despite predictions of a robust 243,000 job increase, the actual figure fell significantly short at 175,000--with eventual revisions expected to lower that number further. This disappointing figure is indicative of the broader economic issues plaguing the nation, with the underemployment rate reaching its highest point since November 2021.

Recall that economic growth just slowed down "massively."

As the country falls into recession and stagflation, Biden is pushing for a big new tax hike -- engineered to make white people poorer to "reduce racial income inequality."

Will Kessler at the Daily Caller:

'Economic Suicide': Biden Admin Justifies Tax Hike Based On Racial Criteria

The Biden administration's analysis of its revenue proposals for fiscal year 2025 argues targeted tax hikes that disproportionately affect white people would ease racial wealth inequality.

Increasing taxes on capital gains and income-based wealth would reduce racial wealth inequality for black and Hispanic families, the Treasury Department outlined in the analysis published in mid-March. The Treasury points out that white families disproportionately hold assets subject to capital gains tax or are in a higher tax bracket, meaning a hike in those taxes would benefit black and Hispanic families.

The Biden administration argues for taxing capital income for high-income earners at "ordinary rates," increasing the top rate from 37% to 39.6% for those who earn more than $1 million a year. Taxes on net investment income would also be hiked by 1.2 percentage points to 5% for those who make over $400,000 per year, bringing the total top marginal rate to 44.6%.

"Taxing capital gains at 44.6% at the federal level -- not to mention state taxes -- would be economic suicide," Preston Brashers, research fellow for tax policy in the Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

THE MORNING RANT: Periodic Roundup of the EV Follies – May 3, 2024

—Buck Throckmorton

Rivian trailer fire.JPG

Two Fires in One Week at Rivian’s Manufacturing Plant in Illinois

Rivian’s unraveling keeps getting worse. A few weeks ago it was announced that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s (R) $1.5 billion taxpayer-subsidized boondoggle east of Atlanta was indefinitely suspended by Rivian. The start-up EV manufacturer is hemorrhaging cash, and it doesn’t need the Georgia plant because it doesn’t have enough demand to even approach the capacity of its plant in Normal, IL.

Two weeks ago came the news that Rivian is cutting even further and letting more employees go: “Rivian cuts 1% of workforce in second round of layoffs this year” [Reuters – 4/18/2024]

The move follows a 10% layoff at Rivian in February when the company disappointed investors with a lower-than-expected 2024 production forecast.

Well, somehow, it just got even worse. The most terrifying word to anyone involved with EVs is also the most terrifying word in a crowded theater… “FIRE!” It’s a word that is being said with alarming frequency at Rivian’s Illinois plant.

“Fire breaks out in Rivian loading dock, the second in four days” [WGLT – 4/29/2024]

Another fire broke out Monday afternoon at the Rivian plant in Normal – at least the second fire in four days. Monday’s fire destroyed a semitrailer in a loading dock on the south end of the plant, the Normal Fire Department said. A portion of the plant was evacuated until air quality returned to safe levels, fire officials said. No one was injured. An adjacent semitrailer sustained heat damage, and there was moderate heat and smoke damage to the exterior of the Rivian building above the dock area, the Normal Fire Department said. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Meanwhile, just four days earlier, there was another fire at the same Rivian plant, this one on the assembly line.

“Fire Forces Evacuation of Rivian Plant” [ WGLT – 4/25/2024]

A fire at the Rivian plant in Normal forced the evacuation of the plant for an hour and a half Thursday morning. The fire happened under a section of conveyor that moves vehicle chassis down the assembly line on the western side of the building, said the Normal Fire Department. Flames did not spread beyond the area, but firefighters said it took some time to ventilate smoke and do air-quality tests in the building.

Saint Greta Is Not Pleased With All You Electric Car Buyers

This seems a bit problematic for all the virtue-signaling EV drivers, because the woman worshipped as divinely pure and infallible in her climate ministry has now condemned electric vehicles. That’s right, Saint Greta the Climate Puppet and her friends at “Fridays for Future Stockholm” are fed up with the exploitation of Congo and its people ”…so that the rest of the world can buy electric cars and other electronic devices.”

Do better, climate sinners. Be better. Driving an EV isn’t going to get you the climate indulgence you seek.

Disincentivizing People From Buying Electric Vehicles

It costs me $32 per year to register my car in Tennessee. Meanwhile, it has been costing EV owners $100 per year. You may be thinking, “Well, that’s not fair.” Of course it’s not fair, EV owners should be paying even more.

“Jolt to wallets: Tennessee electric vehicle owners face steep fee hike in 2024”
(h/t to Mrs. Throckmorton for bringing this story to my attention.)

The reason? One of TDOT's main sources of revenue comes from Tennessee's gas tax, but with more drivers choosing electric vehicles and using charging stations, TDOT is not seeing as much money from it anymore.

The fee for Tennessee EV owners to register their vehicle increased to $200 per year in 2024, and it’s going up to $274 per year in 2026.

The Morning Report — 5/3/24

—J.J. Sefton

qatarballs.jpg

Good morning, kids. It certainly looks as if Netanyahu has indeed had enough of Biden, Blinken and the jug-eared dog-eating closet queen from Kalorama and has told them to go piss up a rope insofar as an insane ceasefire. Considering the mass slaughter and savagery perpetrated by these subhuman Islamic monsters and the fact that the hostages are likely dead or, at this point praying for death, a ceasefire right now, with the IDF poised to wipe out Hamas' last redoubt, is akin to Curtis LeMay giving Tojo the atomic bombs and letting the Japanese nuke America.

I can't read Netanyahu's mind, but perhaps after years of living in denial about the United States insofar as the desperate desire to maintain the illusion of America as Israel's most steadfast ally, regardless of who's in charge, he's finally realized that given who's in charge now, the America government today is at best no longer an ally and should likely be considered firmly in the enemy camp if not an actual enemy.

That statement now applies to the American citizenry and its relationship with the Junta. As horrific as the pogrom unleashed on Israel last October was, the reaction to it by the alleged civilized world and here at home by the Democrat-Left, from a political standpoint, has been gold delivered to us on a silver platter.

Remember that Joe Biden, as horrendous an example of a human being to have ever obtained political office in this country, just behind the Clintons and Kennedys, was deliberately chosen by Obama because his veneer of being an alleged moderate of the old school gave Obama the cover, on top of his mulatto melanin, to unleash his radical Maoism on America with impunity.

Now as his puppet, with the disaster of the past three years exploding that myth to all but the truest of true believer leftists, the pre-planned explosion of campus Jew-hate that dates back to shortly after the IDF began its retaliatory war on Hamas in Gaza, is likely the nail in their coffin as far as this November goes. Election fraud, the kangaroo court Trump show trials, and perhaps mass rioting this summer in Chicago and Milwaukee and all over the place as the pretext for martial law and another CIA/DOJ/State Dept. color revolution right here notwithstanding.

With that, Biden is caught between having to appease his radical base and not totally turning off not just Jewish voters but anyone who has eyes to see what the hell is going on both here and abroad. Hence his latest clumsy attempt to equivocate Israel and "Palestine" while then going on to say he is not wavering in his support for Israel, phony as that surely is.

On top of that was his calling Japan, as well as India and China "xenophobic" for not committing cultural suicide via mass immigration. Like we are. It's like the left hand doesn't know what the far left hand is doing.

Regardless of the gaffes, the little-girl-groping, the stumbling and shambling, the lying, the raging against Americans for not praising his destroying their life savings, and his impotent raging at Trump, his venality and corruption is amplified by those to whom he has whored himself.

On March 1, 2018, Joe Biden got a $200,000 check. The story of where that check came from involves everything from “bloodstained currency” to smuggled gold bars to ‘The Exorcist’. But above all else it involves an enemy Muslim tyranny with ties to 9/11 and Hamas.

When I first broke the story a week before Election Day, it was about how hospital patients in smaller poorer hospitals, including one that had inspired ‘The Exorcist’, had suffered because of the corrupt greed of the Biden family. But even then there was a strange element which led to one of the key figures in the case receiving “blood-stained currency from a Middle Eastern country” and a “torture ticket” after suing James Biden: Joe’s brother.

Four years later, in the midst of the Hamas war, the identity of the “Middle Eastern country” behind the Biden business takes on new importance because it is a state sponsor of Hamas. And congressional investigators and investigative journalists have also traced a trail from Qatar, through James’ health care business to that $200,000 check he sent to Joe Biden.

The health care business that brought together the Biden family and an Islamic terror state had targeted stricken rural hospitals in Kentucky, Missouri and Pennsylvania. . .

. . . Qatar’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (the parent organization of Hamas) and Iran had led to an embargo by its neighbors. And Qatar’s ties to terrorists, including to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, who hid out there until he was allegedly tipped off by a member of the Islamic tyranny’s royal family that America was coming to get him, may have complicated the proposed investment funding mechanisms.

The next stage of the plan involved James Biden becoming the “chief global banking emissary” for Billerfy which processed payments for a cryptocurrency exchange known as Quadriga that traded money for crypto. Later that year, Billerfy’s accounts were frozen and millions were found in a personal account. Six days later, Quadriga’s 30-year-old CEO suddenly died in India, locking up $70 million in cash and $191 million in crypto. Another co-founder, Michael Patry, whose real name turned out to be Omar was raided and authorities discovered gold bars in a vault. The whole operation was then exposed as a massive ponzi scheme.

But by then James Biden had already benefited from $600,000 in “personal loans” from the health care company. On March 1, 2018, Americore wired $200,000 to James and he wrote a $200,000 check to Joe. But the loans, according to bankruptcy court documents were conditioned based on “representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors’ and that he could “obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.”

. . . Even while undermining the sitting [Trump] administration, Biden’s brother was offering the services of his family to an enemy nation. This has wider implications beyond Qatar’s role backing Hamas. Qatar was also the central intermediary in the Taliban “deal” and had formed an alliance with Iran. It is difficult to know whether the “Biden family” relationship with Qatar played any role in the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and in the sanctions relief offered to Iran.

We do know there was a relationship between the Biden family and a state sponsor of Hamas, which Joe Biden profited from, and that has disturbing implications for our national security.

“We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden,” James Biden once bragged. One of those investors had ties to Iran, Al Qaeda, Iran and Hamas.

If the dimwits of "the Squad," in Dearbornistan and on college campuses nationwide only opened their eyes a little bit, they'd understand that Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, with or without the string-pulling of Obama, has done more to further their twin causes of destroying Israel and destroying America than they could have ever dreamed.

And yet, they're sliming him as "genocide Joe" because they think he supports Israel? Biden may have dementia, but these assholes are just plain stupid to not see the taqqiya sunrise sundowning in the Oval Office actually making their dreams come true.

That might be just the edge we need to at least squeak by in 2024. Of course, with the CIA, DOJ, the flag officer corps and JCS and the rest of the Deep State on their side, it's going to be a very long hot summer, perhaps extending well into autumn and, God forbid, beyond.

Have a good weekend.

Which of course they will almost certainly do, so he's basically promising to send troops to Ukraine, when Ukraine's troops can no longer even hold Russia off.

In other words, the perfect time to send your own boys in.

French President Emmanuel Macron has reaffirmed his position that the possibility of sending ground troops into Ukraine cannot be ruled out. "I'm not ruling anything out, because we are facing someone who is not ruling anything out," Macron said in an interview with The Economist published Thursday. He added that if Russia was to "break through the front lines" in Ukraine and Kyiv requested troops, "we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question." Macron's comments double down on remarks he made in February in which he said the deployment of Western troops in Ukraine could not be "ruled out," which prompted a direct warning from Moscow's Defense Ministry.

This is now officially old news, but Noted She-John Snizzbiscuit Fani Willis did not show up for her debate in the Democrat primary to retain her job.

Democratic Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' political opponent debated with an empty podium after Willis skipped the county's first Democratic Party debate, local reports show.


...


The Fulton County Democratic Party held its first primary debate on Sunday, but Willis was a no-show, leaving her political opponent to take the stage alone, where he criticized his fellow Democrat for hiring a romantic partner for the high-level case.

"That issue is important to us in Fulton County and a lot of people across the country," Smith said on the stage, Fox 5 reported.

​​"When you pay one attorney nearly $1 million to handle one case, that leaves the rest of us vulnerable. That hurts everyone in Fulton County," he said.

A 26-year-old teacher sexually abused a 15-year-old boy she met at, get this, Bill Clinton's old church.

She seduced him by "bombarding" him with nude pictures. She didn't have sex with him, because she didn't want to steal his "purity," so she just gave him blowies until he was dehydrated.

The White House Now Sends a Phalanx of Aids to Surround Biden When He Walks, To Screen Biden's Shuffling, Stumbling Gait from the American Voters

—Disinformation Expert Ace

The truth (that Biden is feeble and dying) is always accompanied by a bodyguard of lies (his White House protectors and puppeteers).

Via Twitchy, this report from Axios, aka Politico for Kidz:

President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine: Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he's now often surrounded by aides.

Why it matters: With aides usually walking between Biden and the press' camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old's halting and stiff gait, Axios' Hans Nichols and Alex Thompson report.

Some Biden advisers have told Axios they're concerned that videos of Biden walking and shuffling alone -- especially across the grass -- have highlighted his age.

Weeks ago, the president told aides that he'd prefer a less formal approach, a White House official told Axios. He suggested that they walk with him.

White House staffers and reporters alike noticed the sudden change in Biden's walk routine beginning in mid-April, after more than three years in which he'd typically walked solo.

I completely missed this. The NY Post has been all over it:

Why It Matters: Because it's going to be hilarious when Biden falls again.

"Trump Is Going to Win:" Swing Staters Prefer Trump

—Disinformation Expert Ace

A poll from Kaplan Strategies puts Trump up over Biden by 15 points in Michigan.

Six months ahead of the November election, former President Donald Trump is leading Democrat incumbent Joe Biden by a whopping 15 points in Michigan, a key swing state. According to a Kaplan Strategies survey, the former president polled 51 percent to 36 percent in the battleground state. The margin of error for the survey was plus/minus 3.5 percentage points.

Is this a sign of something? Nah. It's an outlier. No other poll shows such a blow-out race. Every other poll has it close in Michigan.

Other polls have also shown varying results for Michigan. An Emerson College/The Hill poll released earlier this week indicated Biden trailing Trump marginally in Michigan (44 percent to 45 percent), while a Bloomberg News and Morning Consult poll suggested Biden ahead of Trump (47 percent to 45 percent).

Of course, to be close in Michigan is a coup for a Republican...

Also, it's worth pointing out that outlier polls exist. When Marist or MSNBC trumpets a poll showing Biden with a narrow lead in national polling, remember, this Kaplan poll has Trump up by 15 points. There is no #BelieveAllPolls movement. Some are just wrong.

The recent polling news for Trump is mostly good. The new Bloomberg poll has Trump ahead, everywhere.

What do you mean, "everywhere"?

EV-ER-Y-WHER-UH!

4,969 RV, 4/8-15

That's not the only poll showing Trump ahead -- the Emerson poll has him winning in all seven swing states, too.

And I repeat: Trump always gets more votes than his polls suggest. There are a lot of shy -- or browbeaten -- Trump voters who won't tell pollsters they're voting for the Bad Orange Man.

The latest Emerson College/The Hill poll reveals that former President Donald Trump holds a slight edge over President Joe Biden in all seven key swing states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Key Details:

Trump leads Biden by four points in Arizona, three points in Georgia, one point in Michigan, one point in Nevada, five points in North Carolina, and two points in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Independent voters favor Trump over Biden in five of the seven states, with Biden leading among independents in Georgia and Wisconsin.

Emerson College/The Hill also included polling of key Senate races in Arizona and Pennsylvania, with Republican candidates Kari Lake and David McCormick steadily gaining over their Democratic opponents in their respective states.

A CBS/YouGov poll finds that Trump leads Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and is just behind Biden in Michiganistan. Trump leads -- barely -- in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by a single point in both states, 50-49. He is barely behind Biden, 51-49, in Michiganistan.

This poll has a lot of bad news for Biden. Although abortion gives Biden a lift, he's behind on the issue of the economy, and the increasingly-salient question of whether he or Biden had a successful presidency.

Voters rating the current economy vs. the economy as they remembered it under the Bad Orange Man:

Surprise! Soros DA and Trump's Persecutor Alvin Bragg Might Not Prosecute Columbia Rioters

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Well knock me over with a feather.

On Wednesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg refused to say whether he will prosecute the pro-Palestinian rioters who broke into and took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University.


Bragg is currently prosecuting Donald Trump for an alleged campaign finance violation that is normally tried as a misdemeanor offense and would normally result in a fine as a felony. In addition to elevating the misdemeanor offense to a felony, the statute of limitations on the alleged crime had passed. On top of that, nondisclosure agreements are not illegal.

Despite Bragg's overzealousness to go after Trump, he was unresponsive to inquiries from the Daily Caller regarding potential charges for pro-Palestinian rioters arrested on Tuesday. The New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested 119 rioters at Columbia University on Tuesday evening, as well as 173 at a City University of New York (CUNY) protest, where students also took over an administrative building.


"Given his track record and the political nature of the events, I would be surprised if the Manhattan District Attorney's Office prosecuted the charges in a serious manner," Cornell Law School professor William Jacobson told the Daily Caller. "The charges are likely to be dropped against most perpetrators, and drastically reduced for others under an agreement that would see the charges eventually expunged."

Biden finally spoke up about the antisemitic protests on Democrat plantation colleges.

Specifically, he did a replay of his "fine people on both sides" equivocation, using this occasion of overt antisemitism to warn about...

Come on, you know. You don't need anyone to tell you.

Ukranian Troll Farm Employee Confesses: I Was Paid to Inject Pro-Ukraine Propaganda Into American Social Media. But For Some Reason, We Were Told to Propagandize for Joe Biden.

—Disinformation Expert Ace

She suspects that this troll farm was funded by the CIA, which would mean the CIA was running yet another psyop targeting the citizens of the United Fucking States who pay these scumbags their salaries.

BREAKING: CIA Operates Troll Farms in Kyiv to Influence American Voters and To Assure Biden's 2024 Win.

A former employee of one of the Kyiv troll factories owned by the head of Zelensky's office, Andriy Yermak, spoke about how the interference in the upcoming American elections is taking place in Ukraine with the help of the CIA. According to the source, the purpose of the interference is to ensure Biden's victory over Trump. A former employee showed a video taken inside a troll factory, as well as several photos, guidelines and a list of accounts that trolls use to influence the American voters.

"Long story short we were asked to do everything to prevent Donald Trump from winning the elections. So basically, this topic was added to our main lines of work.

Since then, each of us had to post at least 3 to 5 posts daily posing as the Americas and Europeans, criticizing Donald Trump and praising Biden.

The Americans have even organized a few lectures for us to get a better understanding of American politics, the American mindset the main social and political issues.

Then we were occupied with the topics for the job which sounded like this:

1.Unlike Trump, Biden is a smart and experienced politician.

2. Unlike Trump, Biden will never betray NATO partners. Trump will alienate our partners.

3. Biden will not abandon Ukraine. Biden will protect democracy, while Trump is Putin's puppet.

I honestly tried to convince myself it's Okay since Biden is clearly a better option for Ukraine, but it was just too much for me... One thing is to work for the best interests of my country, but interfering in US politics is a whole other thing."
